  • T2 Biosystems’ coronavirus test also provides results in just two hours using an upper respiratory swab sample.
  • Following this news, investors took an interest in TTOO stock, which has resulted in heavy trading of the shares.
  • As of this writing, some 43 million shares have changed hands.
  • That’s a massive spike from its daily average trading volume of 3.9 million shares.
